Artist Biography
Artist, stage and costume designer born the son of a shipbuilder in Lee, Kent (now London). He was known as 'Wilhelm' or 'C. Wilhelm' and was one of the most inventive and prolific late 19th-century costume designers, whose early passion for stage spectacle led to his employment designing pantomime costumes for Drury Lane Theatre. His attention to detail and his ability to create visually stunning and decorative costumes appealed to producers and public alike and led to a constant stream of work. He rarely exhibited his work but did on occasion show at the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, Baillie Gallery and Walker Art Gallery. Examples of his work are held in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum. He died in Earls Court, London.
